If you can afford an external SERIAL modem get one, because every time the kernel changes the Winmodem driver must be changed also. It is truly a PITA.

I choose routers that have a network port rather than USB for the same reason - they uses existing protocols that have been well and truly tested over the years. I even have a couple of modems here which I have on standby in case my DSL goes down. -- Thanks, David Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
